Proverbs 27:10

All About Life

⁹ Oil and perfume make the heart glad,
So a man’s counsel is sweet to his friend.
¹⁰ Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,
And do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away.
¹¹ Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,
That I may reply to him who reproaches me.
